The aluminum case does not affect the radiation at all. They generously used Radium paint not only on the meter plate but to label every knob and dial. The phosphor in the paint is burnt out but radiation remains. Radium has a half-life of over 1600 years. If I should ship it, it will set of all sorts of alarms at the airport or post office. 73 Bill wa4lav

I have one with leather case , schematic cards etc. don't have accessories. It does have a very nice built in key for CW and a thin leather patch on the leather case for CW just over the button. However, if you have a Geiger counter within 10 yards it will go crazy. 73 Bill wa4lav ________________________________________ From: Boatanchors [[email protected]] on behalf of [email protected] [[email protected]] Sent: Monday, February 10, 2014 6:13 PM To: BoatAnchors Cc: Ham MacGuyver Subject: [Boatanchors] A little known single tube (twin triode) transceiver from WW2 Japan.
